They said if you turn on your smart phone right after you land at the airport - you probably have already been hacked ...

Hacked with machetes?
Oh, it's just their electronic stuff that will be "hacked."
Bad heading for the article!

Putin, and by extension, Russia as a whole, is an enemy of the Obamunist Regime, and the Gay Mafia that controls the US Media.
NBC will be especially critical of everything Russia has done with the Olympics, being TOTALLY under gay control now.

Is this to make us feel at home?

If I traveled there I would buy a new laptop hard drive. Test it out a few weeks prior. Install an OS or an image (least expensive way)
Then go to Russia-Sochi with a clean computer to the HACKER OLYMPICS

Most hacked Olympics ever. Might be some bigtime wealth distribution to Russian and Bulgarian hackers

Bad heading for the article! I had to do a double take. At first, I thought you said "beheading" and that really would be a bad heading.

I am not surprised at all. This will be the most hacked & spied on Olympics ever for certain.

Regardless of Olympics, anybody going to China (I have once) can be expected to have their phones, hotel rooms, any rental car, etc to be listened too. We were told that by the tour guide after leaving the airport going to the hotel. This is not a surprise. Anybody thinking that people are not “watched” in China is naive.

That is what I was thinking. Disposable phone, nothing from your “real” life.

Every olympic games I recall has had problems. I really wish the IOC would create a permanent site for the winter and summer games and just improve and upgrade every 4 years. If the IOC controlled everything they might make a ton more money too.
